Re: Why aren’t stars using nest
Budgies are still lovely birds nevertheless - not all budgies are like that.

Re: Why aren’t stars using nest
But definitely safer not to house straight beaks and hook bills together.

Re: Why aren’t stars using nest
haroun that’s horrible that pet store needs to sort out that there isn’t enough room in a cage and yeh I wouldn’t put hock bills with mine because my aviary is way to small for that
But I can’t belive that one just ate another I thought it might attack but never thought of cannabilism

Yikes!!!
Cannibal Budgies

My Stars took over an abandoned canary style nest with Owl eggs, hatched the eggs and raised the tiny Owlets as their own.

Re: Why aren’t stars using nest
Stars seem to be very peaceful shy birds... sweet like the owls. I have new owl babies and another pair on eggs, enjoy watching them. Congratulations on your owl young Elana.
Budgies and parrotlets can be a bit cranky when breeding, some hens do not even tolerate nest checks. Had Green Rump parrotlets yrs ago, they charged you if you went into the cage to service the cage or check the nest...during that time I had to use seed cups through seed doors or risk a bloody bite.

I agree, Stars are sweet birds, but mine are not as shy as some other species.
You should see them when they see their bath coming, they're into the water almost before I put the container down

Here are some baby Owlette pictures for you Frazer.
This is actually a story from a few years back, so the babies are fully grown up now.
